Note: No single was released in the United States. On the information sheet included with the white label, it suggested to "expect an album in September", but that never materialised.ĭiscography Albums Year The track was called "Love Your Brother". In 2005, a white label 12" and a one-sided promo 12" were released in the summer, using the Jesus Loves You pseudonym. The remaining songs that were recorded for the album have since been released. The single "Sweet Toxic Love" (with "Am I Losing Control" as B-side) was pre-released, but the record company Virgin Records was so disappointed in the chart positions of the single that the album was not released. In December 1992, the release of the second album, Popularity Breeds Contempt, was planned. In July 1992, the band performed before 35,000 people at the Luzhniki Stadium, in Moscow, Russia, during a Hare Krishna festival (the festival also took place in Saint Petersburg, Russia Riga, Latvia and Kyiv, Ukraine, but the band only participated in the Moscow event).
In late 1991, remixes of " Generations of Love" and "After the Love" were released as singles. The religion helped him to conquer his heroin addiction, he said. Meanwhile, Boy George felt more and more grateful to Hare Krishna. It was released as a single in 1991 and it became a hit in the United Kingdom – with a peak of #27, their highest position, France, Switzerland, Germany and most notably in Austria – where it peaked at #2 in the Ö3 Austria Top 40, the official singles chart.īecause of this success, the band's debut album, The Martyr Mantras, was released in the same year. This was a crucial turning point for the band, because it was their first religious song. He was impressed with the Hare Krishna philosophy, and as a result he wrote the song " Bow Down Mister". On a journey across India, Boy George got to know better the Hare Krishna movement. The first three singles by the band only had modest success in the UK Singles Chart. "After the Love", the first song by Jesus Loves You that was released as a single, is about the separation from his ex-bandmate Jon Moss, drummer of Culture Club, and the two artists wrote it together. George adopted the pseudonym "Angela Dust". īoy George founded the band Jesus Loves You, as a collective project with other musicians, under his own label More Protein, which aimed to be an underground label and not meant to release music for the charts. The singles taken from the two albums did not attain much commercial success, but they were often played at clubs. For the next two albums, Tense Nervous Headache (1988) and Boyfriend (1989), he wanted to break out in a new direction, by dabbling in electronic dance music. He succeeded with the singles taken from his debut album Sold in 1987. After the band Culture Club broke up, Boy George started a solo career.
